Dinosaurs

That is assuming that the species is unable to take active steps against evolution, which mankind does through science and medicine. Evolution has effectively halted for human beings.

But for dinosaurs, they had nothing about survival instincts. No higher brain functions to speak of.

 

who's to say that we won't make our own ending? maybe we halted evolution for a while, but we could create our own apocalypse.

 

Evolution could take thousands of years before any changes are made.

 

Evolution wasn't rly the question here, now whuz it? Evolution is way to complicated to get into xD

 

We haven't put a halt on Evolution for our species. Evolution refers to the dynamic change within a species over millions of years. What we have put an end to is Natural Selection or survival of the fittest.

Now it wasn't the meteor per se that killed the dinosaurs. The impact has been speculated to have kicked up enough dust to have caused a shift in the climate that resulted in a decline in available resources.

The first land dwellers started out as aquatic lifeforms. After several divergences humans came out of the mix. While we may share some form of common ancestry with fish and even bacteria, it wasn't the case that fish grew legs and suddenly there were humans.

 

:S
Aquatic lifeforms= land dwellers?
I'm confused @___@

 

Horses weren't around during the time of the dinosaurs. The came almost 80 millions years later. And considering the evidence of evolution, hundreds of millions of years at some point an ancestor of all primates was a water-dwelling life form.

The first land dwellers started out as water dwelling creatures. For some reason, over millions of years, they began to get closer and closer to land, eventually sprouting legs to walk up there.

 

That's cool, where did you learn all this?

 

You'll learn this in school at some point. Maybe?

 

Darwin's Theory Of Evolution; Learn it in Biology. Apparently, we all have to.

 

From the looks of it, some of the people here have not learned any biology at all.

 

I would agree, but my logicality, is somewhere along the lines of 'why?' and 'why not?'.

Why?: "Did they die out and how did they grow legs?" I believe the answer is simple if you think about it. One reason is that most animals, no matter which way you put it, start to develop the proverbial point to where their existence is superfluous to those of a frog. Most animals see a water dweller, in this case lets use a tadpole, to where it ages into a full adult frog; it is dependent upon the genome factor really. In case no one knows what a genome factor is, it is dependent upon the father(Dominant trait) that affects the species. In cases known, why did dwellers of the deep gain a different form of life? It is either simple or- I got ahead of myself there, allow me to say this one last thing, the 'why not?' factor.

Why not?: Because most people believe what they want.

 

Its just like adaptation (if thats how you spell it). If you do something long enough your body will get used to it and change to make what your doing easy for and if it happens for millions of years it becomes evolution.

 

Exactly, that is why- What in the world are we doing, this is about animals that died years earlier. What does evolution have to do with this thread?
